So I said I was going to do my “Confessions Of A Curly Girl” in a video form but right about now I dont see that happening so I think I will just type out my thoughts until further notice.
Now….since I hit 1 year natural, I have gotten more and more lazy with my hair. Like it’s been a good 3 weeks [maybe 2 weeks] since I got off my butt and washed my damn hair. And dont get my started on how long its been since I took the time to do a real protein treatment. Like honestly I dont know what my issue is, all I do know is that I dont feel like dealing with my hair at this point.
I think the reason I dont feel like doing my hair is because well… I’m bored with it. I have to be honest with you “newly naturals” when I say that the excitement of being natural wont last forever, well…. at least for me it didnt. I mean after a while I personally realized that its just hair, and to keep is on top of my hair and growing like I want for it to be I have to take care of it…. But that’s about it LOL.
Have you ever wondered what my reactions where a week after going natural???? Well here ya go 
I recorded this video on Aug 27, 2010 and pretty much just addressed my thoughts on my first week of being natural. In doing so I talked about that “negative” comments that I got over the week [which was pretty much none] and I also gave some advice on rocking your natural hair. I love how even back then I knew that if you “rock the natural hair” but not let it rock you, you will still look stunning no matter what. That might be why I have never gotten any negative comments on my hair. Whatever the case is, check out the video below and tell me what your thoughts about your hair was one week after going completely natural.
FYI BEFORE YOU READ:
I am in now way shape or form saying that if you have 4b or 4c, your hair is not beautiful, this post is to the people just are in their first couple weeks of BC and hair is nothing but a big fluff and need a little extra engorgement. With that being said, enjoy, and let me know if you have questions or topic request at nay@naybesa.com
Its about that time for another Natural Hair post. Once again this one is going to my newly naturals, or shell I say anyone that has just Big Chopped [aka cut off all the permed hair]. I remember when I first did my BC I was so filled with joy and excitement until I woke up the next day and saw how dry, flat, and shrunken my hair was. And not to mention the extra shrinkage I would get after doing a wash and go. It was to a point of if I didn’t know any better I might have thought I damn near had a fade. I don’t care what you say, that day after you BC is always epic, because the look on our faces when we see our hair the next day is always priceless LOL.
I think its important for you to always remember whether you are a 10 years natural, or you just did your first big chop, that your hair is just another accessory you have and for it to look good you have to rock it and not let it rock you. I see so many women here and there with these cute natural hair styles however because of the way they look as a whole [meaning outfit and over all confidence] it quickly goes from something that could on point to being just ok. I don’t know how many times I have walked out the house and people tell me that my hair is cute, but its only in a puff… Like really??? A puff??? As simple as the hair style is, if you make it look good people will think it looks good. I always use clothes as an example because I feel the people can relate to it very easily. So my example for this post will be Leggings… Leggings is one of those things that just came in and took over out of the blue! I remember a time when you would see someone wearing leggings and you automatically thought they looked crazy no matter how they wore them, however something happened in 2007-2008 because all of a sudden you couldn’t walk down the street without seeing them. My point is, there was someone [idk who made those popular but whateva] but everyone seen them wearing leggings and thought it looked hot! They thought it was different, and they finally seen a way that these, cheap thick a** stockings without feet would look good and not just a hot mess.
Depending on how much research you do or dont do when you go natural you might think that just because your now natural you can only use all organic hair products, but I’m here to say thats not the case.
When I first started my natural hair journey for about a week I thought the only things I could use on my hair was all natural or shall I say organic hair products, and I’m happy to say that I got over that very quick. When you make the decision to only use natural products your cutting out a lot of other general products that might even work better for your hair and most likely doesnt cost as much. Dont get me wrong, if you only want to use organic hair products because thats what you like, and you feel that products with non organic ingredients are just oh so bad for your hair, then be my guest. However I’m not talking to you all right now. This post is about newly naturals that want to know if you should truly only use organic hair products and the answer is no, because it’s all about
I recently just remembered that I havent been posting up the videos I have been doing on YouTube and I thought it was about time that I changed that. Yesterday I upload a Natural Hair video where I did a “Frohawk” for my hair of the day. The products used in his video:
Eco Styler Gel [the clear one]
Bobby Pins [like 5 on each side]
A brush [random brush]
And a little bit of patience
The tutorial is truly only like about 3mins however at the end of the video I’m talking about how my head held up that night, and how the club went in general. Hope you enjoy
